I think people are getting confused with the terminology used. “Bar” and “Angled” are two different options to accomplish the same goal, that being to raise the back of the keyboard to a certain angle from being parallel to the desk top.

The original LZ-GH had a bar foot.

An angled case bottom would serve the same purpose, as we see in other keyboard case designs.

If it’s to be called the LZ-GH v2, I would vote for a re-creation of the original, with its bar foot and mirrored stainless bottom plate. But I suggest different colors of anodizing, so as to distinguish the new version from the original. So, anything other than black, red, or grey.

This seems to be well received. Do people like it for the typing feel or nostalgia? Just curious.

Very happy to see more work from LZ!

seems like nostalgia

the bar LZs (LZ-F, LZ-S, LZ-GH) are notoriously... not so great to type on compared to angled ones, the sound especially is kinda weird

i like the look, but i'd really like to see a thicker bottom with a similar design

Have you actually typed on one for a longer time? Because to be honest when I look at the boards in your signature doesn’t seem like you did, but oddly enough you are very well informed about every single keyboard, sometimes you know even better than the GB runner or the designer of the keyboard. What is your secret ? I would like too to know everything and never have to spend money to actually get one.

haven't used one for an especially extended period, the older LZ boards are actually one of my knowledge gaps

picked up a lot of it by proxying (mostly from USA -> SEA) and making friends who have a ton of stuff they'll let me try

a lot of info can be inferred from experience in other GBs/with other boards

i used to keep a spreadsheet with a lot of misc. keyboard info on it (angle, controller type, GB price, etc.), but i deleted it a few days ago after that fake koala IC becuase i realized the percentage of people who care about that sort of thing is very small and anything i don't already have committed to memory isn't worth knowing in the first place

The idea of a bar itself doesn't really bother me, but I'd much rather the bottom of the case have more mass and not just be a thin panel. Otherwise the bottom will function like a resonator and make it sound super meh. But if it was like a thinner 2 part wedge case with a place for a bar like carved into it, that I could be down with. So like instead of a bar attached to a flat case, a bar set into a wedge case (but potentially still angled).

Also, if there is a bar, I think it would be cool if it came in brass . Such mass.
